@OmSigDAVID,
It's not a matter of taste, but survival.

Simple moral issues:
- What if your genetically modified son hates his blue eyes and blond hair? (as he'll probably do)
- What if he looks at you and your wife as not his real parents? What if you start looking at him as some stranger's kid? (logical, since he would have very few genes from you, you won't 'see yourself' in him and vice versa)
- Do you feel comfortable about thinking of your future kid as a scientific experiment or 'project'?
- What if he gets gravely sick or dumb because the genetic manipulation goes badly wrong? Will you scrap him and try again?
- What if 90% of people chose to have boys, and no girls? (this is actually becoming a problem in some countries)

I'd rather not go through these issues and have my kids the natural way. They still don't like this or that in their body, but it's not my fault. And they won't die just because some genetic wizard fucked up.

Have your arian kids if you like. It's easy: just ask some German to screw your wife.

Be careful what you say, Olivier: I've got a permis de port-d'armes!

You know very little about German morphology, don't you?

Mainly prejudices, I'd say..

You could ask Dr Philipp Rösler, Germany’s Minister of Health.

@Walter Hinteler,
I was just poking fun at David's fascination for eugenics and aryanism.... And I admit I was aiming for shock, but hope it didn't offend you.

Could you be more ridiculously pompous? Get yourself a sense of humour, Timur.

But pomposity is what I see in smart-asses like you..

Ou à l'envers ... a friend recently published this book ...

http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w641/Walter_Hinteler/b_zps1b4c2652.jpg

... and I could contribute a bit to his recherches (and in the nearest future to the Musée de la Libération Cherbourg and a lot more to the Archives départementales de la Manche) Wink

I did not deny that others might have different tastes than I do.

I see no "moral issues" involved.





David
1. Note that I did not suggest that we shud "all"
become blue-eyed blonds.
I referred to my own, only.

2. Note also that I have always been anti-authoritarian
and anti-collectivist; neither am I anti-Jewish.

The terrible fate meted to German POWs after the war, in France, occupied Germany or USSR, is slowly coming into focus and rightly so.

@OmSigDAVID,
Nor did I say you were antisemite. But I do think eugenics deserve all the bad rap they got from their association with Nazism.

Re. your personal taste, the problem is: if eugenics become a technical and legal possibility, almost EVERYBODY will go for the same fashionable looks, and that would mean a reduction of human biodiversity. In a few generations we'll all look the same. Look at how women doing nose jobs all chose the same straight, impersonal profile. It's not like some chose a potato nose and others a flat nose and yet others an aquiline one... We are all fashion victims.

I remember your speculating about that b4.
I have no opinion on that, beyond: maybe.

The same as my disliking being more darkly complected.
At age 8, I was exposed to more sunlight than I liked
and I was very abruptly darkened. I did not like that.
I never completely recovered from it; that 's not fun.
When the other kids my age in the naborhood got really mad,
thay used to accuse me of being "an Indian or a Mexican."
If my blond son hated it, he 'd be no worse off than I was
at having brown eyes n black hair.

(as he'll probably do)
On what basis have u
assessed the probabilities??
Y do u believe that he will hate "his blue eyes and blond hair" ??
Please explain, if u don't mind.

What if you start looking at him as some stranger's kid? (logical, since
he would have very few genes from you, you won't 'see yourself' in him
and vice versa)
Its NOT logical
because his genes wud be ours, in improved form, not any stranger.
We 'd be fully his real parents.





Olivier5 wrote:

If I were going to have a son,
then: yes.




Olivier5 wrote:
- What if he gets gravely sick or dumb
because the genetic manipulation goes badly wrong?
Will you scrap him and try again?
Maybe try again.
I dont know how to "scrap" him.

The Individual citizens r within their rights to do what thay wanna do.



Olivier5 wrote:

OK, but u might STILL have the problems that u mentioned, anyway.




Olivier5 wrote:

It IS if u transmit inferior genes.

Everyone dies anyway.



Olivier5 wrote:

That wud not work because he 'd not be my kid,
as he WUD be if he had my modified genes in him.
This discussion is theoretical. I don't want any kids.

I just disliked my looks
since age 8, and I wished for better.
A few days ago, I met a friend's 19 year old grandson and I sold him
some real estate. He looked like a Viking. I cud not help but wish,
in retrospect, that I had looked like he did. I 'd have liked that.

@Walter Hinteler,
By the way Walter, what's the date on this bilingual document? 1810? 1870? I guess 1810 would explain the use of French on a Westphalian admin document + the reference to Jerome Napoleon, brother of the 'little corporal'.
